[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 301005, member: 3444"] Well, one medication mentioned was Keppra, but the neuro said it tends to cause psychiatric problems in some people. Then there were a couple more drugs that I can't even remember -- I think one was Lyrica -- and he said one is totally new and then another was a revamping of a very old drug. I'll have to look online later tonight to see if I can figure out what he said (nope, I didn't take notes :hammer: ). But neither one was an option in my mind. And then he finally said they had just been approved for a clinical trial of another new drug that is very similar to Keppra but with a slightly different profile. I still didn't like the side effects he mentioned, and he seemed like he was pushing it more because of the fact that they were doing the study rather than it being a good fit for husband. In all honesty, I think he did best on Lamictal, but he got a mild rash below his armpits with it and the neuro was very leery about risking it getting worse (like Stevens Johnson Syndrome). So for now, we're going to stick with Trileptal, I guess. [/QUOTE]
